They're only coated and are the stock rims. Should be able to get them back to stock. 

 

 

Love seeing that every GSF I see listed since I've bought mine is just getting more expensive 😂📈

Private sales will always be less than dealer though - but I didn't pay far off 33.  Have to say, though I'm yet to pick the car up, Asim at Monza is really good to deal with.  Loves the GSF too, hence having sold a few of them already!

In the 5 years of following the GSF I am yet to see in the UK market one come up with the original diamond cut wheels.

The diamond cut finish is stunning, but I believe in the UK, brand new, Lexus decided against it.

They look so different but yet, are the same.

I sat in one at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.  The interior is a bit of an acquired taste, but I did like the exterior.

That bottom pic is excellent. Looks more blue than black. If Lexus called it black then fair enough, but it’s more like a midnight blue, and as previously stated in the thread, if you look through the perforation at a particular angle, is more like a navy blue. Anyway, I’ll call it Lexus Blacknblue from now on!

That's easy - they aren't. No GS Fs sold in the UK had diamond cut alloys - it wasn't an option.

Diamond cut is easy to identify - it is shiny non-painted machined surface.

 

Here is some info on the wheels just to make you feel better - they are still special

This is what diamond cut/machined wheels look like:

[Rensin55]

UK cars were fitted with the hand polished ( rather than diamond cut) wheel option. The raised spokes are polished and the lower ones are painted.

? They are all the same on the GS F - all hand polished smooth and painted the same colour.

You may right, just had another look, the raised spokes are flat which may be reflecting more light than the curved lower ones.

Yes I think that is it, the flat surface reflects the light differently especially as the paint is metallic.
